Default Concantenate columns with dates and text

The first two columns in my spreadsheet are dates. The third is text. When
I try to concantenate, the dates turn into numbers.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Say that your dates are in A1 and B1 and your text is in C1.

=Text(A1,"mm/dd/yyyy")&Text(B1,"mm/dd/yyyy")&C1

Try that.
